National Training Schedule & Players
When attending National Training, all players must wear:
National Training Clothing
From September 2014 you will be required to wear NRHA logo navy shorts which can be purchased on the day at a cost of £10. White socks should also be worn which can also be purchased on the day at a cost of £7 for Senior and £6.50 for Infantil. Please ensure that socks with a club logo are worn.
Please note that due to Bushfields Sports Centre increasing their prices, I too have had to make increases.
For the last 3 years the Sports Centre costs have been increased, however I have managed not to pass these increases on.
Unfortunately this time I will need to increase my fees to ensure I cover my costs
New fees from May 2013:
Over the past few months I have been working on reorganising my training structure for young players within the National Roller Hockey Association’s national training weekends.
Whilst in a perfect world a player should be placed in their own age groups from as young an age as possible, we have to work with many constraints (i.e. numbers, financial costs, rink availability, distance etc.) within English Roller Hockey.
Having given this matter much thought I feel that I have settled on a format that will not only serve the needs of today’s players but players for years to come.
To ensure the steady and continuous development of potential National players within roller hockey it is essential that we have a robust system for identifying and monitoring players’ skill levels at all times.
Training is now run on a levels system instead of the previous projects training
The 5 Level system I have introduced is a fluid one which means that players can be added or removed from a level at any time. This ensures that players recognise the need to make progress to maintain their position within a Level and so encourages a competitive training environment. This is particularly crucial with young players as a
season is a long time and some may significantly improve and emerge.
This flexibility is also useful in case of injury/illness or where it is felt necessary to deselect a player by placing them in a lower Level until they can regularly demonstrate they meet the criteria of a higher one.
It may also be necessary to deselect a player to a lower Level after a period of absence from National training.
I will be assessing all players during each National training session and will keep a record of their development so their progress can be monitored on a regular basis.
Please do not worry if your child moves up or down a Level. This is done to ensure they are being offered the most appropriate training for them as individuals at their current stage of development. If you would like to talk to me about your child’s progress I will be only too pleased to do so.
Ultimately, my aim is to ensure that your child is provided with the appropriate level of training in order that they can reach their full potential. In the last 2 years we have had some great results in the International arena and I am committed to building on this success even further.
